Ask your real estate agent for references

Having a real estate agent assist you with buying or selling a home is a sound decision. You can increase the soundness of your decision by asking the agents you are interviewing to provide you with a list of references from past customers. The questions you may want to ask of the references provided include:

• How would you rate your overall house buying/selling experience?
• Did your agent make sure you understood and were comfortable with the process?
• Was the agent easy to contact during the transaction?
• Did they adequately explain the paperwork and contracts?
• Were they courteous and professional throughout?
• Would you recommend them to your family or friends?

If the real estate agent you are considering using cannot provide references upon request you should be cautious in selecting them to help you with one of the largest financial investments you will make in your lifetime.

If you are interested in purchasing a home, contact me. References are available.
